[Nordskogen] The Quill Wants to Know: Do You Like Horses?

[Crystal Quill]

Happy, happy fall!
   
  The November issue of _The Crystal Quill_ will be about equestrian activities. So come on, horse lovers: trot out your knowledge! What’s up in the SCA equestrian community? How were horses used in period? What’s your favorite equestrian SCA experience? (I know Checheyigan has a great one...) Artists: everyone loves to draw horses... send me your artwork!
   
  What I'm looking for in this issue:
   
  - articles (don't have to be long!)
  - suggested resources for further reading (Internet or hardcopy)
  - artwork!!!!! (sketches and cartoons are great)
  - announcements (birthdays, anniversaries, archaeology finds, 
    "classifieds," you name it)
   
  Deadline for submissions to the October issue is NOON on Saturday, October 21. But you don't have to wait until the last minute -- start writing today!
   
  Please read the SUBMISSION GUIDELINES found on the _Crystal Quill_ page of the Nordskogen Web site, www.nordskogen.northshield.org/quill.html. These are important!
          
  If writing about sporting and hunting isn’t your thing, how about starting an article now one on of the other upcoming themes?
   
  - Dec 06 -- brewing/vintning (a favorite topic for many people! What do you know about brewing/vintning practices in period? What’s your favorite/funniest personal experience in the making of fermented beverages? What resources do you recommend for folks just starting out?)
   
  - Jan 07 -- your first event (story time! Write about your very first time attending an SCA event. What was wonderful? What do you look back on and laugh? What about the event made you want to come back for more –- or what made you think twice about sticking around? Everyone has a first event story; share yours!)
   
  Make your Chronicler deliriously happy and become locally famous at the same time -- write an article or draw something today, and send it to nordskogenquill at yahoo.com.
   
  Yours in Service,
